MICHAEL Jackson’s film crew have revealed his last words to them less than 24 hours before his death.

Kenny Ortega, producer and director of This IsIt, which was released last week, said: “The night before he died wehad completed all of the physicality of the show as it would have beenstaged at the O2.“Michaelstood out at the front of the stage that night with me and looked outinto the empty arena and said, ‘This is the dream. We did it good,Kenny. We did it’.“Therewas this feeling in the air, and in our minds we were already on theplane. Michael said, ‘You can feel London. You can smell it’.”AsJackson hopped on board a golf cart that took him to his waiting carafter each rehearsal, he turned to associate producer and choreographerTravis Payne. “I shouted ‘I love you’ to him,” said Payne. “He smiledback and said ‘I love you more’.“Thatwas the last time I saw him – the last time any of us saw him.” Lessthan 18 hours later, Jackson lay dead after an overdose of theanaesthetic Propofol and the dream of one of the most spectacularcomebacks in music history died with him.TheSunday Express can reveal that Jackson and his team had lined up aseries of show-stopping events and special guest stars for his 50London performances.Approacheshad been made to Mick Jagger, Bono and Lady Gaga and special effectsstunts were to include a Jumbotron screen 3D “experience”.Detailsof the spectacular emerged last week as This Is It, the movie compiledfrom more than 100 hours of rehearsal footage, registered box officetakings of £12million worldwide in its first day. Fans have stagedprotests, including one outside last week’s celebrity premiere at LosAngeles’s Nokia Theatre, claiming Jackson had been “pushed beyond hislimit” by tour promoters AEG. But Ortega insisted the star was“bursting to go” at his final rehearsal.

“I was watching Michael come back to life during aperiod when he’d been really beaten down,” he said. “He wasn’t lookingfor validation or to prove anything.“Iwas in his dressing room and I said, ‘I can’t wait for the curtain todraw back. You’re going to get the validation you deserve and thatpeople tried to rob from you’. He just laughed and said, ‘You’re sofunny’. What he was really saying was that the only thing thatmotivated him was the music and dance routines.”Weeksearlier, Jackson had telephoned Ortega at 3am. “He said, ‘VictoriaFalls’. I mumbled, half-asleep, ‘That’s in Africa’. Then he said hewanted Victoria Falls on a big screen worked into his London set.“Michaelwanted the world up there on that stage with him, in 3D. He wanted tohand out 3D glasses to members of the audience and said to me, ‘Imagineall those people putting on their glasses at the same time to watchVictoria Falls behind me’.” Musicdirector Michael Bearden said: “Michael wanted to fix everything. Hestopped one routine because he heard a single wrong note. Nobody elsedid, but he said, ‘Trust me. It’s wrong. Listen to my original record’.Jackson’sdancers also said he was in an ebullient mood. Devin Jamiesen said: “Hecouldn’t stand still. He just kept moving, trying out new things. Youcould tell he was amped up.”

I know Grace BUt I shared because ...those "last words" are strange, don't you think ?

I know Human_nature. This would be strange if it were true. (Questioning everything - because Kenny is cited does not mean he said it or he transferred this to the tabloid. We all know how they twist and invent things.)

So if it were true that Michael said this, he felt he had accomplished everything to be ready. Which would contradict the many utterances that nothing was ready at all.

And Kenny speaking about the curtain - where's a curtain: in theaters and movie theaters. Not in arenas with live shows. This means to me that they were clear to produce a movie.And that Michael did NOT want the "validation" back in an egocentric meaning as if he wanted and needed to be celebrated but judged Kenny funny to say such things.

Michael is a wise man and he wants the focus not on himself but on the matter he wants to draw our attention to.

Just my speculations as I doubt what the tabloids write has anything to do with reality.
